This traditionally Slavic neighborhood has a storied history, starting out as farmland before turning into the culturally diverse hotspot it is now. Home to both a waterfront of warehouses and close-knit family communities to the East, the area has seen a burst of new businesses and curious dwellers alike.
This tiny espresso bar is tucked away on Manhattan Ave. just past the Greenpoint Church. If you aren’t paying attention you can easily walk right by it. Upright isn’t your average coffee shop, they aren’t big and don’t have a room to sit and do work. They do however have some of the tastiest coffee in Greenpoint. With friendly service, great coffee and good prices, it is hard to pass this place up when you’re out and about.
